This is the life history of Salustiano Piñeiro, a seventeen- year- old teenager, who grew up in a small town where the cold, the wind, the snow and the loneliness are forced partners of the people in Gobernador Costa. He thinks about school as a means to change his situation, but every day that goes pass, he realizes that nothing is easy. He has to live with his economic needs, the incomprehension of his family and his frustrated dreams. His days at school are presented him as a contradiction: go on studying is a long-term goal. However, the hunger knocks on his door TODAY.
